These line are a shame! The insinuation is evil as if Eduard had published an
article with analyses about Zappa and then he would only show losses. This is
talking falsehood. Eduard is a member in playchess and he's playing there. From
that activity he becomes eyewitness of Zappa games. And to inform the readers
here he posted losses of Zappa. Wins of Zappa were posted during the WCCC more
than enough. Everybody knows that Zappa is a winner and no loser.

But you should really analyse your reactions here, Anthony, so that you could
prevent that you may hurt your Zappa out of your own - with your own unreflected
attacks against Eduard.

Perhaps the following example is convincing for you. You remember Bobby Fischer
or Capablance? From the latter there is a written book with ONLY his few
losses!!! Nobody felt insulted, misunderstanding the intention of the author as
if he would put down marvelous Capablanca. No, the opposite is true. Capablance
was so famous for never losing games, that everybody was happy to see that also
from Capablanca there could be published some 20 losses.

I also invite you to remember Sveti Stefan. At the time everybody was surprised
to see Bobby lose some games. The game were deeply analysed. Nobody ever
insinuated that now the status of a Bobby Fischer could have been hurt by such
analyses.

You must think deeper. At first someone must publish Zappa losses, then later
others come and analyse the reasons for the losses. And BANG you can profit out
of this. Think positive! Otherwise paranoia is approaching.

This is written with the utmost care from science. You shouldn't try to hide
losses! Your losses are the capital of future wins - IF you can profit from
facts. Only IF.

Friendly regards,
Rolf
